Wofford has a beautiful campus covered in greenery. It has an incredibly friendly environment due to its small student population. All the staff members are truly helpful to anyone needing assistance.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you're looking into Wofford, you should opt to attend the Night and Day program, which will give you a chance to stay in a dorm, eat in a cafeteria on campus, and meet your future classmates. Go to Wofford's website, where you'll have access to any information you may need, including blogs written by students throughout their years at Wofford.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Wofford is certainly not going to be as challenging as Harvard Law School, but its professors are certainly committed to teaching students and pushing them to achieve all they can.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
All the dorms at Wofford are adequate for students. Wofford is especially known for the Village, its senior housing. The Village is apartment-style housing specifically for seniors (and costs no more than freshman, sophomore, or junior housing). You can find more information on Wofford's website.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Like most cafeteria food, Wofford's can surely become boring after awhile. However, there are plenty of options on-campus, including a Chick-fil-A and a market located in the Village.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Wofford has committees specifically created to provide events for students to attend. There are parties on Greek Row that all students are allowed to go to. Wofford is within an hour of beautiful lakes and mountains. Spartanburg has a cute downtown, and Greenville (about 40 minutes away) has great shopping and dining opportunities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Wofford is very expensive at about $45,000 per year. However, the school gives out enormous scholarships. There are specific dates in the fall where students can visit campus to be interviewed for these scholarships, and if you can't visit you can do a Skype interview. I did my interview over Skype and still ended up with a scholarship of $30,000 per year.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Wofford has many cute traditions, including Terrio racing, where different clubs and organizations each get a golf cart and decorate it however they desire. The clubs then have a race around campus in their golf carts.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Wofford is great for high achievers who want to go to a serious school but may not be able to afford the more well-known schools.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Wofford has many clubs and activities for students to become involved in. It's a small school, so some of the clubs are also very small. Nonetheless, clubs are a great way to meet students with interests similar to yours. It is also easy to create your own club because the staff are so committed to helping students get involved.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
More than half of Wofford's student population participates in Greek life. Because Wofford is a small school, Greek life does not involve stereotypes such as hazing. Greek life at Wofford consists of quite a bit of volunteer work. However, there are plenty of fun activities like parties, formals, and beach trips. Many Greek events welcome non-Greeks as well.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Wofford has a perfectly safe campus. Everyone is very friendly and looks out for each other.
